A Peach Disease,

A Washington correspondent of the
Troy Times writes: "The Department
of Agriculture has been making some
investigations as to the distribution of
the disease called the "yellows" among
the peach orchards in the various
States, and out Of the four localities in
which any material damage is reported
portions of New York figure. The re-
port from Eastern New York says this
disease is not common in Eastern New
York, but that it has destroyed whole
orchards in some of the western coun-
ties where peach growing is more pro-
minent, especially in Niagara and On
tario, and that it has attacked healthy
orchards in vigorous condition. The
western reporter says it has nearly
finished the orchards in Niagara
County. He thinks it was first intro
duced in Jersey trees; that it is not due
to light or poor soil. The growers of
peach trees are trying the effect of muri-
ate of potash and bone dust, but don't
know that it does any good. One or
chard of 4 900 trees was killed out by the
disease. The conclusions of the depar
ment are: That the yellows originate
from the injury which follows the &C
ton of frost upon unripened shoots in
the fall; that in climates unfavorable to
the complete maturity of the yearly
growths the disease is communicated
from tree TO tree; that seeds from dis
eased trees will produce diseased plants,
and that vigorous trees on rich soil are
not more exempt from the disease than
weaker trees on light soil.

vines and Climbers on houses.

Notwithstanding the beauty that
vines and climbers give when growing
on houses, they have been classed as
Objectionable on the ground that they
cause danpness in brick or stone walls,
and decay in wooden ones. But it will
not be wise to discard them without a
hearing. When walls have become
saturated with water, the evaporation is
dou btless greater when they are directly
exposed to the action of the sun and
wind. On the other hand, when they
are covered by dense mass of foliage,
it requires heavy rain to penetrate il
and reach the wall at all, as 1t serves as
an almost impervious covering. In the
case of those climbers that attach them
selves to brick and stone, and require
no support or very little, it is question
tionable if they are at all injurious.
Take, for instance, the beautiful ampe-
lopsis tricusE;dota, or Japan Ivy. intro
ouceQ few years ago; its close foliage
wards Oft all rains to great extent. and
its rootlets absorb from the walls an Inn
mense amount of moisture. which is
necessary to keep the foliage in good
condition. We should not hesitate to
plant it or similar climbers against any
wall. There is more objection to such
plants as derive all their moisture from
the earth. A hop vine fastened to the
side of a house, especially to one of
wood, prevents the wind and sun from
carrying Oh the evaporation that they
otherwise would, and without doubt
would be injurious. Proper discrimina-
ton is necessary in this as in most other
matters, and we should be slow to con-
denim all, when only part can be shown
to be faulty.-PrGctic0L Farmer.

Tho Anti-Polygamy Bill.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-It is learned
that the section of the anti-polygamy bill
passed by the house. which excludes from
registration lists the names of all persons
who refuse to take an oath to obey the
Edmunds act, has been made much more
stringent by the conferees. In its present
shape the section excludes from registra-
ton those who refuse to support the law
of 1882 (the Edmunds act), or this amend
atory act, or who practice, aid. abet or
avow polygamy. The conferees, in adding
these restrictions to the original bill, were
animated by the desire to prevent the
encouragement and sustenance of polyga.
my by persons who keep within the letter
of the law by retaining from the practice
of polygamy, while openly avowing their
belief in the doctrine.

CHICAGO, Feb. IA special to the
Times from Austin, Tex, says: There is
quite a sensation here to-day among mem
bers of the grand lodge of Odd Fellows,
which has been in session during the
week. 1t is alleged that Thomas Nj.
Joseph, IA prominent lawyer of Galveston,
and for ten years treasurer of the grand
lodge of Odd Fellows of Texas, is short in
his accounts in a sum ranging all the way
from $4,000 to $4,000. Joseph was to
have been reinstated as treasurer for the
ensuing year, but on representations made
by the grand master of the lodge, before
proceeding to install him he de-
manded a new and better bond.
Joseph left on Tuesday for the
ostensible purpose of complying with the
demands, but thus far has failed to return,
and prominent officers of the grand lodge
here express the opinion that he is short
for a large sum, if not for the entire $50,
600 They also have grave doubts about
the solvency OF his bond. given a year
ago.

BERLIN. Feb. l2.-It is reported that
Prince Bismarck is not in favor OF the
emperor's issuing an electoral manifesto,
trusting that success is assured without
the emperor being pledged to assurances
Of peace or the threatenings Of war.
The Nachricten Zeitung states that
large quantities of material for the con-
struction of French barracks passed the
frontier of Alscace between Jan. 30 and
Feb. ). Three hundred and seven truck
loads of beams and planks have been
sent to France.
The North German Gazette says that
sinceGen. B~eulanger assumed charge ofthe
war Office not a day has passed. without
measures being taken to augment the Of
fensiye strength ofthe French army. The
patriotic attitude of the French chamber
Of deputies and the French press toward
the credits Gen. Boulanger considers nee
essary, ought to cover with shame the
Progressist and Catholic parties in Ger
many which, when the glorious creator of
German unity declares that the sacrifice
he asks from the nation has no other aim
than peace, to refuse him the necessary
means to defend the frontiers of the
fatherland.

Great Suffering Resulting From the
Strike.

Strike.
New YORK, Feb. l2.-At the evening
session at headquarters, one OF the execu-
tive committee stated that the end of the
strike would not end the boycott on the
Old Dominion line. The men who turned
out with the strikers on this pier, who did
not belong to the union, will be assisted
with money until they get employment.
More strikers went to work on the steam
ship piers in the afternoon.
The officers of the 'Longshoremen's
Union state that nearly all their men will
be at work next Monday. The movement
of freight continues to improve. The
strikers on the Lehigh valley road pier
went to work this morning. A large
number went in on the jersey Central
pier. At pier No. 4, of the Pennsylvania
company a score OF strikers asked to be
put to work, but we're refused, the agent,
j. s. Bodon, stating they could not come
back under any circumstances. At the
other piers old hands are being.taken
back and big piles of freight are fast dis
appearing.
In the poor quarters of this city and
Brooklyn the people who live from hand
to mouth are many Of them in very sore
straits. The tradesmen have given all the
credit they can afford, it is almost impos-
sible to collect rents, and the suffering has
been great for some time.
Members of district assembly 40 met
tonight and heard reports of the various
delegates. These were to the effect that
old hands could return to work on the
piers at the old scale of wages. 1t was
unanimously voted hat no members of
district assembly 40 return to work until
their demands for an increased scale had
been conceded.
